If you really want to keep the vandals and pranksters from getting through, you either need more volunteers on patrol (Shinseki says 300,000 at least :-) ), or use them more efficiently, or cut down on the inflow somehow.
I think a few more levels of catchers will do the job fine.
e.g. [[Wikipedia:Speedy deletion patrol]] appears to be a workable idea - rather than hassle the Newpages patrollers to be perfect, we just let some admins check the deletion logs and restore articles clearly deleted in error - which will be a much smaller subset. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list

That's a great idea, I'd personally like to see an undeletion accompanied by a little cleanup. There's plenty of out-of-process speedy deletion but a lot of them were in pretty sad shape (which is probably partly what got them speedied in the first place). I know some admins don't like when someone restores something they speedied but if it was also cleaned up a bit I doubt if anyone would object...
I'd still like to see tag and bag though.....
